This film explores the life and times of a renowned documentary photographer whose black and white pictures of townspeople, farmers, and laborers create an indelible portrait of life during Weimar Germany. Interviews with August Sander’s daughter, grandson, curators, and other experts are fascinating. Modern-day views of the landscapes Sander documented are set against the stark beauty of Sander’s photographs, so different from the prettified studio style prevalent at the time.  NK
